Peel and quarter the russet potatoes, ensuring they are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a fork until smooth and free of lumps.
Gradually stir in the sautéed garlic with olive oil and the unsweetened almond milk, mixing until the desired creaminess is reached.
Season the mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the mashed potatoes for a fresh garnish.
Serve the dairy-free garlic mashed potatoes hot as a delightful side dish to your main course.
